Iceweasel fails to start for so 3 weeks now through weekly dist-upgrades. Yes one mat from terminal issue $:iceweasel --safe-mode command, and it will load in a crippled function way.

There simply must be a way to get around this and still have the goodies function correctly!!!!! I need to use it for technical research which often (read almost always) requires language translation functions, use of archived bookmarks and yep various extensions...etc.
